Vice Golf has carved out a strong niche in the golf world with its distinctive, colourful golf balls and apparel, challenging the traditional giants with a fresh, modern approach. Now, they’ve taken a significant leap into the club market with the VGD01+ driver.

The Vice Golf VGD01+ driver is packed with technology and features. Its design incorporates a thin, high-strength titanium face to generate ball speed and promote high launch.

For the price point of £379/$399, this is a solid offering tech-wise.
